Song

I found this song today on another blog that I am about to start reading.
Here are the lyrics:

Hillsong United Lyrics
“Solution”

It is not a human right
To stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find
The Mercy for the need

Singing, Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession
Yeah

It is not too far a cry
To much to try
To help the least of these
Politics will not decide
If we should rise
And be your hands and feet

Singing, Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey Now
As we hold to our confession

Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah

Higher than a circumstance
Your promise stands
Your love for all to see
Higher than protest line and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Only You can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free
Only You can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a Father to the fatherless
Our Savior and our King
We will be Your hands, we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
On the darkest place, we will be Your light
We will be Your light

We will be Your hands , we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light
We'll sing

Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.

Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah

We will run we will run
We will run with the solution [2x]

We will be Your hands we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be Your light
We will be Your light
We sing

Psalm 139

I found this verse used for a little chinese baby that had a heart problem, who lived at Maria's Big House of Hope. HE is now in heaven and has a brand new heart, and will never have to suffer again!

I thought the verse was really special, so I decided to use it for my little chinese baby.

This is an old picture but one of my favorites! :)

For you created Tristan's inmost being; you knit Tristan together in his mother's womb. I praise you because Tristan was fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Tristan's frame was not hidden from you when he was made in the secret place. When Tristan was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw Tristan's unformed body. All the days ordained for Tristan were written in your book before one of them came to be. How amazing is it to know that our God is in control and knew long before we did what Tristan would do on this earth.

The Hole in Our Gospel

I found this on the ABBA Fund Blog and I wanted to share it.

Here is a modern paraphrase of Matthew 25, This is a picture of how most of us as christians are living:

“For I was hungry, while you had all you needed. I was thirsty, but you drank BOTTLED water. I was a stranger, and you wanted me DEPORTED. I needed clothes, but you needed MORE clothes. I was sick, and you pointed out the BEHAVIORS that led to my sickness. I was in prison, and you said I was getting what I DESERVED.” – Richard Stearns, The Hole in Our Gospel

It is time for change!

Defending the Cause of the Orphan

Tom Davis challenged his blog readers to come together and write 500 blog posts about how an orphan has impacted and changed our lives for the better. He asked us to post this on our blog so that when people search for the movie they will get all positive messages about adoption and orphan care. Here is a link to his post, to find out how to participate click here:http://tomdavis.typepad.com/tom_daviss_blog/2009/07/defend-the-cause-of-the-orphan.html#comments

Here is my story:

Warner Bros. new horror movie Orphan proclaims that it must be hard to love an adopted child as much as your own. Let me tell you about how an orphan changed my life. I haven't adopted a child but I do sponsor a child in China. His name is Du Xinyong (English name: Tristan). He is a cute little one year old boy who lives at Shepherd's Field Children's Village (www.chinaorphans.org). He is a special needs orphan just like the 100 or so other children living there. I started sponsoring him in January of this year and this was the first child I had ever sponsored, so I didn't really know what to expect. You may think that when you sponsor a child you wouldn't get very attached. Well, that isn't necessarily true, this boy is incredible. Although I haven't seen him in person it is so exciting to see new pictures of him. It is so much fun to watch him grow and make new accomplishments. I know that I am not only helping him but in more ways he is helping me. If you don't already sponsor a child I would strongly suggest it. Here is a recent picture of Tristan, you can really see the joy in his face! Just think of all the joy he would bring to a forever family!
